After race at Galway Wed, 30th Jul, 2014 (1st)

We're very happy with that but we were a bit fortunate at the second last. Our jockey did the right thing and gave him a few strides to recover. He got a dream run down the inner the whole way and we had fortune on our side. Shane is some value for his 7Ib claim. It's great to have it . he won't have it for long but we'll make use of it whilst it's there. The horse is in again on Saturday and we'll see how he is on Friday morning first.
